Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge on the asset during its period of use.
Depreciation Expense (Straight line) = Cost - Residual Amount ÷ Estimated Useful life
                               = $778,000 - $48,000 ÷ 10
                               = $73,000
Therefore, for each year, a depreciation expense of $73,000 is charged to profit an loss.
Accumulated Depreciation Calculation :
Depreciation Expense : Year 1 Â Â $73,000
Depreciation Expense : Year 2 Â Â $73,000
Total Expense                $146,000
